Windows 12 runs in a browser? Is this true?

I see a picture online that shows Windows 12 is running in a web browser. Is this true?

 

  • No, Windows 12 doesn't run in a browser. What you likely saw is a concept or demo of Windows 365 or Cloud PC, which is a cloud-based version of Windows that can be accessed through a browser. It's not the same as the traditional Windows OS running natively on your device.

    From what I have heard, Microsoft is trying to replace the entire graphics subsystem with Unstable Diffusion. All draw calls will take the prompt string.

    Windows 12 will be the same as Windows 11 with rewritten file explorer but same UI and design as now, old control panels will be hidden and some old UI will get refreshed, and that is all.
